Permission to shutdown! [closed]

One of the alternatives is to edit the / etc / sudoers file and include the following line in this file:

user host = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown

Where:

user = user you want to give shutdown permission without prompting for password

host = hostname (run the hostname command to know)

To edit the / etc / sudoers file use the visudo tool, see below:

sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers

An actual example (my backup computer):

luiz storage = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown

Running the command:

sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now

The above command will give you an immediate shutdown and reboot your computer. No password will be requested.
